connected with the shaft 30hy means of the screw 42 threaded into the binding-plate 43 of the binding-terminal 39, and the strap 44, one end ot which is wrapped around the shaft 3() and the other end ot which is held beneath the head of the screw 42 (Fig. 6).

ln wiring the device, one of the conductors 17 entends unbroken through the threepart base 26, as shown in Fig. 8. The other conductor 17 is broken and one end is fastened to the binding-screw 45 of the binding-terminal 38, and the other end is fastened tothe binding-screw 46 of the binding-terminal 39. A

The three parts 47, 48 and 49 of the insulating base 26 are provided with registering openings for the passage of the conductors 17 The parts 48 and 49 are provided with registering recesses 50 and 5l to accommodate the rotatable switch member 27 and associated parts. L

The circuit when the switch is closed is from the binding-terminal 38, through the screw 4G, contact members 28 and 29, contact portion 36, conductor portion 35, shaft 30, strap 44 and screw 42 to the bindingterminal 39.

The step-by-step rotation ofthe rotatable member 27 alternately makes and breaks the circuit between the Contact member 29 and the shaft 30, and, hence, between the binding-terminals 38 and 39. The end of the shaft opposite that to'whichthe strap 44 is secured is held in place by means of a strap 52, .one end of which is wrapped around the shaft 30 and the other end of which is held beneath the head ofa screw 53, which extends through openings in the insulating portions 48 and 49 and is threaded into a nut 54 (Fig. 7).

The two parts-l6 and 22-of the cage 13 are secured together by means ot screw's 55 extending through ears 56 Vand :37 on the two parts of the cage.

What I claim as new and desire to secure oy Letters ljatent of theUnited States is:

yl. In a canopy-switch device, a threaded support, a two-part skeleton cage one part of which is secured to said support, a switch held in placc by said tage, a hollow stern secured to the other part ot the cage tor supporting an electrical translating device, a canopy having an opening through which said stem extends, and a pull member. for operating said switch extending from said .canopy 2. A device comprising an insulating base including two insulating members having registering openings and recesses, two binding-terminals supported by said base, a pullswitch mechanism mounted in said recesses for making and breaking connection between said terminals, two conductors. one connected to' each terminal, an insulated conductor extending through said openings,

a cage for holding and supportingsaid base, a hollow stern secured to said cage with a passage registering with the openings in said insulating members, a pull member for operating said switch, and a canopy for housing said cage and said base haring passages through which said stein and pull member extend. f

3. A device comprising an insulating base, including two insulating members having registering openings and recesses, two binding-terminals supported by said base, a switch-mechanism mounted in said recesses for making and breaking connection bctween said terminals, two conductors one connected to each terminal, an insulated conductor extending through said openings, a ca'ge for holding and supporting said hase, a hollow stem secured to said cage with passage registering with the openings in said insulating members, and a canopy for housing said cage and base having an opening throufrh which said stem extends.
